"There's a reason the best time to sell your home in Maine is when buyers are most active. 👀

And right now, buyers are motivated in ways that will change as summer goes on.

The families planning to move before the new school year starts are already shopping.

They're pre-approved, they're touring on weekends, and they're ready to write offers.

If selling your home in Maine has been on your mind, this is your sign to at least have the conversation.

Message me and let's talk through what makes sense for your specific situation.

Most Maine buyers focus on negotiating the list price and miss finding leverage in other areas.

Meanwhile, the levers that can save you the most don't touch the list price at all.

Ask the seller to buy down your rate. This can save you tens of thousands over the life of the loan.

Then there's the repair credits. Instead of going back and forth over who fixes what, ask for a credit at closing.

You keep the money, choose your own contractor, and what it looks like when it's finished.

Don't forget to ask what stays with the home. Appliances, furniture, window treatments, these are all negotiable. (And that's money you don't have to go spend later).

And most importantly: talk to more than one lender. I've seen the same buyer get wildly different rates just by making two extra phone calls.

As always, my DMs are open for your questions. Follow along for all things Maine – the best new listings, things to do, and a look at life here.
